by Coat, Janik
Behold: an opposites book like no other. Simple pairings of words, both expected (small/large) and unexpected (clear/blurry), are humorously illustrated with a graphic and lovable red hippopotamus. Bold colors and surprising die-cuts and textures spice up this elegantly engaging board book.
Praise for Hippopposites Nicely done and a perfect gift, your favorite little one will love this book.
